THIS GOOD OLD STANDBY

THIS GOOD OLD STANDBY
accomplishes for everybody exactly what isclaimed
forit. One Of the reasons for the great popularity of
the Mustang Eminent is found in Its universal
applicability. Everybody needs such q medicine.
The Lumbermnn needs 1t in case OF accident.
The Housewife needs 1t for generalfamlly use.
The Cannler needs 1t for his teams and his men.
The Mechanic needs 1t always on his work
bench.
The Miner needs 1t In case OF emergency,
The Pioneer needsit-can'tg get along without 1t.
The Farmer needs 1t in his house, his stable,
and his stock yard.
Thu Steamboat man or the BOntmnn needs
1t in liberal supply afloatand ashore.
The HOrse-fancier needs tilt Is his best
friend and safest reliance.
The Stock-grOwer needs tit will save him
thousands of dollars and a world Of trouble.
The Railroad man needs 1t and will need 1t SO
long as his life is q round of accidents and dangers.
The BuckwOOdsmnn needs II. There is moth
ing like 1t as an antidote for the dangers to life,
limb and comfort which surround the pioneer.
The Merchant needs 1t about his store among
his employees. Accidents will happen, and when
these come the Mustang Eminent is wanted atonce.
Keep n Bottle in the House,. IT'S the best OF
economy.
Keep n Bottle in the Factory. Itsimmediate

Keep n Bottle Always in the Stable for

Heroic Lives at Home.

Grace Greenwood.
The heroism of private life, the
slow, unchronicled martyrdoms of
the heart, who shall remember =?
Greater than any knightly dragon
slayer of old is the man who over
comes an unholy passion, sets his foot
upon it and stands serene and strong
in virtue. Grander than Zenobia is
the woman who struggles with the
love that would wrong another or
degrade her own soul, and cOnquers.
The young man, ardent and tender,
who turns from the dear love of Wo-
man, and buries deep in his heart
the sweet instinct of paternity, to de-
vote himself to the are and support
of aged parents or an unfortunate sis
ter, and whose life is a long sacrifice,
in manly ch%eerfulness and a majestic
spirit, is q. hero of the purest type, the
type Of Charles Lamb. Ihave known
but two such.
The young woman who resolutely
stays with father and mother in the
old home, while brothers and sisters
90 forth to happy homes of their
own; who cheerfully lays on the al
tar of flial duty that costliest Of hui
man sacrifices, the .joy'of loving and
being loved, she is a heroine. | have
known many such. The husband
who goes home from everyday rou-
tine and the perpleXing cares of bust
ness with a cheerful smile and a low
ing word to his invalid wife; who
brings not against her the grievous
sin of long sickness, and reproaches
her not for the cost and discomfort
thereof; who sees in her languid eyes
something dearer than girlish laugh
ter, in the sad face and faded cheeks,
that blossom into smiles and even.
bushes at his coming, something
lovelier than the Old-time spring
roses, he isa hero. l think l know
of one such.
The wife who bears her part in the
burden of life, even though it may
be the larger part, bravely, cheerful
ly, never dreaming that sheis a hero
inc, much less a martyr; who bears
with the faults of a husband not al
together congenial with loving pa

81 have told you that the lovers
planned to deceive the Dakota's, and
they did.
Winona secreted a long, rawhide
rope under her shawl and dropped it
where her lover was secreted without
stopping to speak, as had been plan
ned.
When darkness came Little Coon
went to the top Of the bluff, and MAX
ing a moose on one end of the long
rope, he laid the circle at the edge of
the rock, put the thong around the
projecting point of stone, and lower
ed the end to the earth below, and
then went down to await the coming
of Winona.
When he heard the death song
from the young squaw's lips he
grasped the rope firmly. .
"Winona wound hershawl abouther
breast and then put the moose around
her body under her arms, and was
ready for the leap.
"a wild cry rang out, and Little
Coon, who was a very stout young
brave, held tightly and let the little
squaw down.
SAT the same time he pushed with
his foot a large, round stone from its
resting-place, and it went splashing
into the waters of Lake Pepin. AS
soon as Winona touched the earth
she and her Chippewa lover raj to
the water where the canoe of Little
Coon was lying, and they padded
away. The long rope was taken
with them. They swept quickly up
the smoOthe surface of the pretty Pc
pin, and when the light came they
were hidden in a thicket where Lit
tie Coon had left some food.
When the sun went down again
they hurried away from the big river
to the east, and when light came
they hid again.
After a long journey they came
to another river, and when this was
crossed they were in Canada. Here
they lived with new names, and be-
came friends of the whites, and no
one knew the truth. The Dakotas
knew that Winona was dead, and
Chippewas thought Little Coon kill
ed at the hands of the enemies. /
have heard the story many times.
And did they ever return to the
Mississippi" 1 asked.
"No, they never went back to
their people, and their people never
knew they lived"
Where did Winona dwell 2"
"The pretty squaw and Little Coon
lived eighty years together in this
grand forest. They led the free life
of the red man, and but a little time
ago Winona died, leaving her old
and feeble companion alone. She
died in this very lodge, and is buried
beneath tine pines"

Be Kind to the Aged.
Methodist Recorder

Methodist Recorder.
The loneliness Of age! How few
think Of this, and treat with due ten
derness and consideration those who
have outlived their generation, and
whose early companions and friends
have been taken from them! Uu-
able to engage in the activities oflife,
they are no longer brought into con-
t9ct and sympathy with those around
them, and no tie of common interest
and mutual dependence binds them
together. Their views and tastes
have naturally grown apart. They
share little in common with Others.
The future of this life has nothing to
inspire their ambitions or excite their
hopes. What calls forth the ener-
gies of others has no inspiration for
them. They necessarily, to a great
extent, live in a world of their own,
WIN when those around them are
not familiar. The communings of
their hearts are with the scenes of
the past and the companions Of other
years who have long passed away.
Lover and friends have been taken
from them, and their acquaintance
laidin darkness. The formstheyadmir-
ed and loved are gone, the eyes that
looked into theirs with the tenderest
affection are SightlesS, and the voices
that cheered and stirred their souls
have long been silent. Their early
world of hope and life has become a
desolation, and they sit in silence
contemplating the ruin that has been
wrought.
They have but little to interestthem
in this world. Who would not do
what he can to cheer the loneliness of
age, to smooth their pathway, and
comfort them in their declining years.
